Like when Jackie was going to divorce Jack before he became President, Jack's father Joe gave her a million dollars to stay with him through the Presidency. That was new info.

The amphetamine use/abuse was new info, Jackie being a big smoker until 3 months before she died, that was old info. Jackie being intimate with Robert Kennedy was a bit surprising. But I'm only halfway through the book.

actually Im now reading two at one time . I finished the tenth cir cle , really good and now reading change of heart by picoult and time travelers wife , the ttw sorta had me from the first page . it is true that it is one of those books you either love it or hate it .

Thomas Berger's "Neighbors". Rather Nabokovian or Kafkaesque, but in a more conversational contemporary style. It is quite unsettling, leading me to wonder if I will finish it, but I like the writing style. I have not see the 1981 movie based on the book, starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.

I've just started reading Black Lamb and Grey Falcon about the history of Yugoslavia. 1200 pages. I'll be back next year to tell you what's next after I've finished this one.

Then again, the book may surprise you into reading it right through. Not that I read many history books, but I have found with many very large books that once I start reading them, I simply do not want to put it down.

In the past few months I have read,"The Help" by Kathryn Stockett"Have A Little Faith" by Mitch Albom"The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak"The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth SteinAll really good books...

And this week I purchased "The Pioneer Woman's Cookbook" which I loved.

I picked up The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo authored by Stieg Larsson, a book my favorite Powell's book seller recommended. He told me Larsson has written only three books, and he recently passed away. So, there will be no more books. Has anyone read this book?

I just finished it. Couldn't put it down!
